When I Wake Up In The Morning A country rock song about the end of a relationship that Janice kindly agreed to sing harmony on. Leon - Lyric and vocal Janice - Backing vocals I played lead guitar. Thanks to Bud for recording Janice and mix suggestions. The Band: RealTracks in style: 1583:Bass, Electric, TexasBluesRockShuffle Sw 130 RealTracks in style: ~956:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm CountryBoogieGrittyA-B Sw 110 RealTracks in song: 2676:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm BluesShuffleBrent Sw 130 RealDrums in style: PopRockShuffle: a: Snare, Closed Hatb: Snare, Open Hat When I Wake Up In The MorningYou can give me back my diamond But that trinket is no use to me You can say that time’s a healer As if that means a thing to me You can quote Pablo Neruda You can say that I’ll move on But when I wake up in the morning I’ll be here and you’ll be gone The coffee will still smell as good And the sun still warm the bed The painting that you bought me Will still hang above my head The playlist that you put together With all my favourite songs When I wake up in the morning They’ll be here and you’ll be gone They say that sleep can knit up The raveled sleeve of care But like the prince I fear to sleep For the dreams that I’ll find there Morpheus I pray to thee Don’t send her face tonight I know that I’m no superman But that girl’s my kryptonite You can tell me that your promises Were ones you meant to keep And though you had to break them They were never given cheap Our love was a contagion I’m still sick but you got well My condition only worsened When you told me fare thee well When I wake up in the morning And consciousness returns I hope I don’t start looking ‘round For things that I can burn This room’s so full of memories I don’t suppose it will be long Before a morning dawns When they’ll be here and I’ll be gone

Very nice guys and gal!
Fun write and strong performance by all.
Nice job on the guitar as usual, Peter, I especially liked what you were doing during the outro.

P,L&J, I sure do like this one. Great lyrics and vocals. Really nice guitar work. As Dave pointed out especially the outro. My favorite part is the unexpected ear catching chord progressions for the solos. What a great idea. I thoroughly enjoyed my listen, Tom

Hi Peter,
A great swinging country groove.
Super performances from Leon and Janice and some
delightful guitar work - wonderful "twang" on the solos.
Excellent lyrics and story-line.
Cheers, ROG.

Very well done you guys! The groove here is infectious and had my toe tapping within a few short measures. And the track has such a catchy, happy tonality to it. This is the precisely the kind of thing I'd belt along to on a road trip. Great work, and thanks for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

Peter & Leon (and Janice)...
Really enjoyed this. A good write (a lot of words!).
Cool tracks - very supportive of the lyric. Nice mix.
Nice guitars all over the place! Leon's usual strong vocal. Janice's usual "sugar on the top"...
A fun one.

Peter,
There are too many nuggets in those fun lyrics to quote - this is Leon at his sardonic best. Musically its just as much fun and your outro is great!
Thanks for giving me a toe tapping smile.
Robert

Hello, Peter
A great swinging country tune.
Really nice intro.
I entirely agree with floyd.
Nice guitars all over the place! Leon's usual strong vocal. Janice's usual "sugar on the top"...
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

This sound has such a lovely feel to it! I especially loved the part
"You can tell me that your promises, were ones you meant to keep. And though you had to break them they were never given cheap."
Really lovely job! Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
Ember

Soooo good in so many ways. Excellent write, production, singing. Toe tapping goodness, with clever lyrics to boot. Plus, you made me look up Pablo Neruda.

Peter, Leon and Janice,
This is incredibly entertaining.
Peter: you guitar work, arrangement and mixing are excellent. The country-swing feel grabbed hold of my feet and refused to let them rest. From the beginning, I was tapping my toes along with your presentation. I always love hearing your play.
Leon: your ear-catching melody, clever lyrics and relaxed, easy singing make this an impossible song to put down once it starts. I have never come across 'contagion' in a lyric before. Also your use of 'thee' is incredibly clever. You've taken an archaic word and managed to make it sound conversational in a modern way. Then there are all those other lyric gems... the journey from coffee to knitting to Marvel comics to viruses to... you weave a very entertaining story!
Janice: it is always a delight to hear you sing. Whether it's solo, duet, background or foreground, you nail it every time! And every time I find myself just drifting along listening to you.
All the best,
Noel
